SUMMARY:COFFEE BREAK: Better than Net Zero from Day 1 - Introducing Climate Friendly Snacking
DESCRIPTION:Climate Friendly Snacking. Can crackers really fight climate change? Or be carbon neutral? Over 25% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the global food supply chain. Come learn more about how Airly Foods (owned by St Louis-based Post Holdings\, Inc) is looking to challenge the way food is made from seed to shelf to create Climate Friendly Snacking where every box sold actually removes greenhouse gases from the air! \nFEATURED GUEST \n\nJen McKnight\, President and Co-Founder of Bright Future Foods\, the makers of Airly Climate Friendly Snacks\n\nJen has spent over 20 years in consumer packaged goods\, beginning her career at Procter & Gamble as a mechanical engineer. She went on to earn her MBA at Kellogg School of Management and enter a career in brand management\, working at companies including Clorox\, Premier Nutrition and Campbell’s where she successfully led growth and innovation on a range of iconic brands across many categories. Jen passionately believes climate change is a colossal challenge that needs bold solutions NOW\, that’s why she made the decision to dedicate all her efforts toward driving innovative solutions to this threat. For the past several years\, she and her Airly co-founders have been on a mission to reverse climate change through food and prove to the world that it’s possible to create a snack that is not only delicious\, affordable and convenient\, but climate-friendly too! Airly Oat Cloud crackers are pioneering as the world’s first cracker to remove CO2 from the air\, and are the first snack product to empower consumers by printing their carbon footprint right on the package. Airly envisions a world where we can rethink our food supply and make climate a part of our purchase decisions to create a brighter future for us all. Bringing Airly to life has been a labor of love\, and Jen is excited to be tackling one her most interesting and important challenges to date: getting the word out about the role we all can play in tackling climate change together! \nClick here to watch a recording of this Coffee Break!

SUMMARY:Evening Educational Program: Resilient Waterways\, Watersheds & Their Cities
DESCRIPTION:Derek Hoeferlin’s “Way Beyond Bigness” design-research project comparatively studies the Mekong\, Mississippi and Rhine river basins\, focused on multi-scaled\, water-based infrastructural transformation and their various impacts on riverways\, cities\, and larger regions\, particularly when coupled with the impacts of climate change. “Way Beyond Bigness” realigns watersheds and architecture across multiple scales\, disciplines\, narratives. Hoeferlin will frame the impacts on rivers and cities from a larger perspective at the scale of watersheds. \nColin Wellenkamp in his role of Executive Director of an association of 101 U.S. Mayors along the Mississippi River\, will outline the tremendous challenges facing America’s Waterways. Additionally\, Colin will detail what cities are doing at corridor scale to address the challenges described and achieve a new degree of climate resilience and mitigation for at least a generation. However\, this is a new moment for the Mississippi Corridor – the Jobs Act coupled with new partnerships spearheaded by the Mayors have created a unique opportunity. \nSPECIAL REMARKS \nHon.

SUMMARY:COFFEE BREAK: Net Zero Follow Up with Navigate Building Solutions
DESCRIPTION:At our 2021 Green Building Showcase\, we learned about Navigate Building Solutions’ plans to build themselves a net zero energy corporate headquarters in Brentwood\, MO. The 8\,360 square foot headquarters is now complete and known as Navigate Office Center. The project combines energy efficiency with the generation of renewable energy from solar panels\, ensuring the net consumed energy is less than the energy produced and aiming to demonstrate the economic feasibility of net zero construction. Let’s hear an update on how it’s going in the new building and where Navigate Building Solutions is with their progress towards Net Zero certification with the International Living Future Institute!  \nWatch or listen to this Coffee Break recording!  \nFEATURED GUEST: Todd Sweeney\, Co-Founder of Navigate Building Solutions\, a leading Design and  Construction Project Management Firm in St. Louis\, Missouri.

SUMMARY:COFFEE BREAK: Living Building Challenge - A Look at the Materials & Water Petals
DESCRIPTION:The Living Building Challenge is a philosophy\, certification\, and advocacy tool for projects to move beyond being “less bad” and to become regenerative\, meaning they will have a positive impact on the environment. The Challenge consists of 7 “Petals” – Place\, Water\, Energy\, Health & Happiness\, Materials\, Equity and Beauty. We will discuss the Materials and Water Petals at this coffee break\, which focus on Net Positive Water and Waste.
